In her first work Elysha has incorporated imagery representative of what have become iconic Australian symbols of World War I: The music score from the Last Post and images of poppies. Her second work aims to represent different perspectives of the war experience, indicating that war and the inherent casualties of war are not a one sided affair.
Elysha has also introduced an element of sentimentality with the paper cut border imitating an old fashioned photo frame to symbolise cherished memories of those lost to war and the ongoing travesty and futility of war.
